Hello Geeks, After testing our iOS app using MobSF, the report highlighted that the binary has Runpath Search Path (@rpath) set. In certain cases an attacker can abuse this feature to run arbitrary executable for code execution and privilege escalation.

 The Runpath Search Path directs the dynamic linker to search for dynamic libraries (dylibs) in a specified order of paths, similar to how Unix searches for binaries in $PATH. However, this setup introduces a vulnerability wherein an attacker could place a malicious dylib in one of the initial paths, thereby hijacking the legitimate library sought by the linker.

 Despite attempting to manually strip the binary following instructions from https://inesmartins.github.io/mobsf-ipa-binary-analysis-step-by-step/index.html, the same warnings persist in the report. We urgently seek assistance in resolving this issue and eagerly await your response.
